Let's take the article's account as true and consider the "businessperson"/host he rented the car from. This isn't a matter of "there should be laws" here. The things they allegedly did are already illegal. Overstating the mileage on the vehicle is fraud etc. A person who does that is a criminal. Likewise the drivers who assault women.
The mistake is in looking to Turo or Uber to adjudicate this. They're not the police. Go to the actual police. What nonsense is this that we expect a tech company to replace the courts? That's the source of the problem. Let the app just be an app and if criminals use the app they face an actual judge.
- bloomingkales 2y agoAlright. Not a hill to die on. I do like that there is activism here. Truly, its civic activism that's done freely. If this is the last time I hear about bullshit like this, then wonderful. Otherwise, this all joins the very large pile of shit the tech bros have been unleashing. It's seductive to want to align with the bravado of cut-throat businessmen. I was sucker for it too. It's such a cool archetype when you are impressionable, but then you grow up and realize humanity is about more than that.
